The Deeplakshmi, or deity of Lamp, is revered and has been depicted in many styles since ancient times. However, the basic structure remains constant, ii. the standing posture, holding a lamp, and parrots sitting on her shoulder, but there are often experiments on her attire and stance. Many Deeplakshmi are standing in the tribhanga pose, but this brass pair of Deeplakshims stands straight. What attracts the attention is their attire, which is prominently inspired by the Salabhanjika of the Hoysala style of temples.
Here, the elaborately decorated Deeplakshmi is standing on a lotus pedestal and wearing exquisite jewelry on their waist and below. The elongated, thick chains dangling from the main Kamarpatta or waist belts showcase the ancient glory of jewelry designs. Their graceful face and hairdo signify their godly status. It is believed that placing the pair of Deeplakshmi’s brings good luck and fortune in a household and also increases the glory of the decor.
